He Wouldn't Divide.

Henry George delivered lecture ak
Chicago on the subject of an equal dh
vision of property, which was very
convincing, particularly to the ianitor
of the hall where the lecture was de-
livered. Mr.. George advoc ated tho
idea that all property, emolumc nts, in
comes. etc, should be divided equally
The ianitor went TO Mr.. George after
the lecture, shook hands with the
lecturer, and told him he had been
very much entertained, and in fact con-
WINGED that Mr.. Georges theories were
sound, aud should be adopted. lie sale
he would be willing to commence diyid
ing up right there and as Mr.. George
received a hundred dollars for his
lecture. while the ianitor rece wed q
dollar for taking care of the hail. Is
Mr.. George would kindly give him fifty
dollars. he would divide his dollar with
Mr.. George, and thus illustrate the
beauties of the new doctrine. Mr..
George declined to divide. He said u
was not this year. but some other year.
that the division was to be made. The
ianitor was very much disappoinicai
when Mr.. George refused to whack up

value was this to the surgeon ;

pointed out a probable means for re-
lief. 1t is true that there was nothing
certainly demonstrated, and to follow
the indications was largely experiment.
tai and hazardous, but as there were
none of the patients friends to consulf
with, and the patient himself could not
speak, the surgeon did what he thought
was best for the patient and the IN
terests of science.
The patient was removed TO the
operating-room, and in the presence OF
large number of physicians the sur.
geon cut off the patients hair on the
right side, and made triangular in.
cision in the scalp about three inches
long The flesh was dissected up with
in the lines of the incision, and long
flap was made. Without moments
hesitation the surgeon forced trephine
of the largest size through the sknlI
which was unusually thick and hard A
button of bone was removed about an.
inch aud half in diameter, and the
brain substance came up through the
opening in the skull, showing that there
was pressure within. There WAS
nothing in the appearance of the brain
to indicate that there was any thipG
wrong near the surface. Upon pressing
the brain back through the opening
which could be yasily done. as the
membrane was not ruptured, the sur
geon detected with his fingers harS
substance on the under side of tho
opening. A piece of bone was removed
at this point with fine forceps, and %
cystic tumor was found imbedded in
the brain. How deep it extended could
not be told, but the surgeon at ven
ture sunk his knife in the brain sub
stance and began cutting the tumoR
out. 1t was delicate work and skill
fully done. After about an inch and o.
half of the brain had been divided thh
end of the tumor was found. and the
entire mass was removed withons
difficulty. A large hole was left in tho
brain and there was
CONSIDERABLE HEMoRRHAGE,
Which fortunately did not last long
While the flap was being returned to-
position on the skull one of the assist
ants cut the tumor in half TO discover
its nature, and was surprised Ito find
firmly imbedded on one side large
bullet. II was much fattened, anu
looked like one of the largest revolver
bullets.
The patient fingered between life
and death for many days, and then
there was marked improvement in
the condition of his body. The tenn
perature became normal and the power
of motion slowly returned. The im'
provement was steady and at the end
of four weeks the patient had become
conscious, and soon afterward was
able - talk without trouble. He said
his name was Henry Pickens, that he
was Colonel in the rebel army, form
erly lived in Lexington, Kentucky. and
was wounded at the battle of Gettys-
burg in 1863. He had carried the bull
let in his head since. There has al
ways been pain in his head that va
RED in intensity for some reason. Ii
had been more painful of late years,
and he had been told by his physicians
that the bullet would finally kill him.
He went home last Tuesday, sound ID
body and mind.

Grace Howard writes from the
Crow Greek Mission, Oak, that her
plans for the betterment Of the in
dustrial condition OF the Indian
women are already well under way.
She has not gone West as a teacher,
as the papers have reported, but her
scheme, which is an original one, is
to open on a small scale an establish
ment for the cutting, fitting aud
manufacture Of clothing and other
household articles, which the Indi-
ans now beg from the missionaries,
or buy.
1t is amusing, and mite outra-
gous as we'll, that women who array
themselves against woman suffrage
because women have not time to
properly inform themselves so as to
act wisely 10 political matters, have
decided opinions on every issue which
comes before the people, and do their
best to influence every voter they
meet to accept their views and help
10 establish them as the judicious
rulings Of the land.-Mary X. Dom

Florence M. Atkinson wrote a
clever salutatory 10 the opening num-
Der of the Woman's News, edited by
l.. May Wheeler and Nettie Rams

son says a very hopeful indication of
the times is that women are less dis
posed to go in droves. The brightest
and brayest strike out into unbeaten
paths. They study the laws Of sup
ply and demand, and seek to do the
work the world wants and is willing
to pay for.

her $500 year, and she must have
been sstonisbed when a telegram
reached her from Senator Farwell
that her name had been sent 10 the

concerning some women VINO are well

which it appears that some OF the
most noted began life very humbly.
Sarah Bernhard was q dress
makers apprentice.
Adeladia Nelson began life as a
child's nurse.
Charlotte Cushman was the daugh-
ter OF poor people,
Mrs. Brandon, the novelist, was q
utility actress in the Provinces,
The most renowned woman who
sprang from the lowliest state was
Jeanne d Arc, who ted swine.
